Hit & Run: The Race is on with Chase

Chase Utley comes back from his hand injury, and goes 3-5 with a homer and 2 RBI, as the Phillies beat the Mets (sad Metsy) 9-2. I guess some other stuff happened, but I ignored that noise. Oh, I did see that it was some sort of mascot function at Citizens Bank Park, so I entertained myself with that. Alas, I couldn’t find any pictures of the mascot hotness, but I did see that some Spartan was there, as was the New Orleans Hornet, and Li’l Red (yeah, whoever that is). Also, I heard Keith Hernandez wonder why the flowers in the bullpen were purple and not red. Keith, you’re so weird.

The next best thing to a Mets victory is a Yankee loss, and I got one of those – a good one! The Tigers pounded the Yankees, 16-0. Mike Mussina, the bitchy little diva, lasted only 3 innings and gave up 6 runs. Guess what, Mussina, they’re gonna replace your ass with someone else – anyone else – in the starting rotation, because you’ve pitched like garbage your last three starts. A bunch of the Tigers hit well (as you can imagine), and Verlander pitched 7 innings, surrendering 3 hits and no runs.

Thanks for the props to the Tigers, it was beautiful to watch. And when are you going to give some love to our young cutie Cameron Maybin (recently called up from AA)? He’s only 20, and has braces, but find a picture of him and you’ll see how much potential he has…

MMFC: he’s just a whiner. He has his routines, which he’s entitled to, but if so much as one thing goes awry, he whines about it after the game – and says that’s why he pitched badly. Also, when asked last weekend about the possibility of being dropped from the rotation, he has this positively bitchy response: “Who’re they gonna replace me with?”

Can the Sox do us a favor and knock the Yanks around a bit, or a lot? Because the Tigers would really like to be able to fall back on the Wild Card, in case this whole biorymthic winning-losing with the Indians thing doesn’t go away quickly.

There were some Met’s fans still running their mouths after the game saying “Yeah, we’re still in first place!” so my brother was like “Yeah, well they lost tonight, who cares!” and the dude was like “Look at the scoreboard!” hahaha, burying himself cause then about 50 people got on him saying “We saw the scoreboard! Did You?!” amongst many other things that i’m sure i’m not allowed to type on here.

Lastnight was one of the best times i’ve had at a game this year. Annnd, i’ve got a 9-0 record so far this season, haven’t lost one yet that i’ve been to! That’s gotta stand for something!
